“Mudshow was brilliant and I was a little worried that her third album might be an anticlimax. I needn’t. Krista works her way through another wonderful selection of songs and it’s almost impossible to choose a favourite track. Her warm, treacly voice and effortless arrangements make listening to 'Cover Their Eyes' the aural equivalent of a long hot bath with candles all around...! I need two copies –– one for the car and one for home!”
Tony Currie
Producer, Nightshift BBC Radio Scotland

I wrote Mudshow as an experiment ~ a musical painting of sorts ~ trying to capture the Indiana landscape and the town I live in. I'm happy with the end result. I'm happy that some others are as well. Someone said that America won the cold war but lost the war of categories... Everyone wants a category. Makes life easier and more containable. Doesn't always work, though. I can't find it for myself, exactly, and I get tired of being asked to.
A great American songwriter, Slats Klug, gave me high praise with this.. "She sings like an angel on Mudshow - the angel of death playing russian roulette with the grim reaper over tea and brandy...alternating anesthesia and a cold scalpel down the belly, she takes names, not prisoners...like a voyeur peeking into our homes, relationships, myths and the dark night of our souls, Detor has left the truth bundled at our doorstep and rung the bell."

I've just finished my new album, 'Cover Their Eyes,' and am excited to begin a whirlwind Northern European tour in October when the album makes its debut in Amsterdam. I completed work earlier this year on the 'Wilderness Plots' project with Carrie Newcomer, Tim Grimm, Tom Roznowski and Michael White ~ musical interpretations of the book by great American author Scott Russell Sanders. The Wilderness Plots show has been touring since March to critical acclaim in the midwest and beyond, and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work in an industry that is struggling under the weight of the difficult transition from one medium to another. Hard to pay the rent when all the music in the world is for free ... so I'm grateful to all those people who continue to support artists they believe in and enjoy. Thanks.
